Chapter 570: Crossing the River and Discussing Major Matters

Fang Xie didn't insist on leaving Zhuo Buyi, because he knew that Zhuo Buyi would definitely leave. Forcibly keeping him by himself is not only useless, but will mislead Zhuo Buyi's cultivation path. A person's character determines the direction of his life, and the reason why Zhuo Buyi cultivated the painting is because he is too good-minded. Draw the ground as a prison, only sleep, not kill.

The army is full of murderous spirit, and it is not beneficial for him to practice.

The brigade marched all the way along the official road, and the killing of a group of bandits was only a very small episode, and even the soldiers did not care, only as a joke. Jin Shixiong's scouts kept following the team, but Fang Xie didn't bother to care at all. Jin Shixiong is a big man, but if he can't get out of the northwest, he will be a giant shark trapped in the shallows, and sooner or later he will suffocate to death.

And he is a dragon into the deep sea.

There are still many rebels under Li Yuanshan on Mangdang Mountain, and some people have the courage to vote, and Fang Xie will not accept them. The hearts of the people in the northwest have been slippery, and most of these soldiers are here to eat. A brave soldier does not necessarily lead others to be brave together, but a soldier who is afraid of death will definitely be able to drive others to be afraid of death.

Without saying anything all the way, the team successfully arrived at the ferry port when Fang Xie Xia Yongzhou. When they arrived here, Sun Kaidao and others found that Fang Xie was safe. There have been such detailed arrangements, and they have even allocated Xiao Riding School to go to the river to collect boats in advance.

The scene I saw by the river shocked everyone!

On the river, countless large ships are lined up. There are many masts, and thousands of sails are spreading.

The flag planted on the big ship shook in the wind, and the big words on it were particularly eye-catching.

Cargo through the world

At the beginning, the fleet of ships that traveled through the world could easily send nearly a million troops to the northwest, and it was naturally not difficult to transport less than 100,000 cavalry across the river at this time. When all the soldiers saw the endless boat, their admiration for Fang Xie arose spontaneously. A capable leader will make his subordinates feel grounded. Only then did they discover that General Fang was so powerful that he could call on a fleet of ships that traveled through the world to assist the army to cross the river.

And the most surprising thing is that the escort for the fleet is actually the Great Sui Sailor!

At least 200 warships, large and small, swam back and forth on the river, like giant whales soaring out of the sky. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army were already shocked by the big ship that could call on the goods to travel all over the world, and their surprise and joy when they saw the Great Sui Sailors were even more indescribable.

Fang Xie had become omnipotent in their eyes, obviously he had been in the northwest, how could he conjure up so many ships and even sailors?

The soldiers were shocked by the scene on the river, and they didn't know who broke out into cheers first, followed by the whole team boiling. Originally, the soldiers thought that the most difficult thing was to cross the river, and if the Yangtze River water division intercepted it, the losses would inevitably be heavy. Who would have thought that the warships of the Yangtze River Naval Division would actually escort them!

Riverside

Fang Xie walked forward quickly, and bowed to Wu Yi, who had been waiting here for a long time: "If it weren't for Master Hou, I would be stumped today!" ”

Wu Yi smiled indifferently and pointed to the person standing beside him.

At this time, Fang Xie found out that Wu Yiyi's side was actually an old man.

"General Duan?"

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and found that this person was actually Duan Zheng, the general of the Great Sui Water Division, who had helped him!

Duan Zheng hugged his fists and said, "General Fang, long time no see!" ”

Wu Yiyi, who was dressed in a signature royal blue brocade robe, smiled and said: "When I wrote to General Duan and invited him to come here to meet, he still didn't agree, I let Jiu Secai go, and knowing that you were going to the southwest Duan, General immediately agreed." It turns out that you have known each other for a long time, but I realized it later. ”

Fang Xie hurriedly said: "On the day I went north, it was General Duan who helped him vigorously, and today I asked General Duan to help, Fang is grateful!" It's just that General Duan is not near Luoshui, Hedong, why did he come back here? ”

Duan Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "At the beginning, I admired General Fang's courage, so I gave a helping hand, and I didn't mention some trivial things." As for how I got back here......"

Duan Zheng sighed, then made a gesture of please, and Fang Xie and the others immediately entered a pavilion near the trestle, and the wine and food had already been placed in the pavilion.

"At the beginning, I was ordered to take the Yangtze River Naval Division to Hedong Road to assist the imperial army to cross the river to the west, and since then I have not left, I have been working under Wang Yiqu, and it is idle to patrol back and forth with the fleet every day. It's just that I didn't expect Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu to join forces to make trouble, I happened to be cruising the river with the fleet that day, and when I came back, the flag in the camp had changed. Wang Yiqu knew that I was not his personal entourage, so he didn't reveal anything in advance, and I was cautious, and I never merged the fleet into Wang Yiqu's water village, so I was saved from death. ”

"After I came back with the ship, Wang Yiqu ordered the fleet to encircle, I saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ordered the fleet to retreat, and I should have been lucky that day, the wind direction was favorable to turn the rudder, so the fleet withdrew in time. Although dozens of boats were lost, they rushed out with most of the people. I originally wanted to find a way to contact the emperor, but I couldn't get in touch with it because I was blocked. Then I took the fleet back to the Yangtze River, wanting to consult with Bo Jin, the general of the Yangtze River Naval Division, who knows...... Bo Jin has already taken refuge with Luo Yao, and the Yangtze River Naval Division has joined forces with Luo Yao's army to enter the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"So I took people to live in the old village of the water master, but I was worried all day long. It was just when the letter from the Hou Ye arrived, asking me to eat and drink, and I was disheartened at the time, where did I have this thought. Later, I found out that the person I met was actually General Fang, what a fate! ”

Fang Xie was also happy, and toasted them a few glasses of wine in a row.

Wu Yi smiled and said: "Not only General Duan, but also your uncle in name, it turns out that Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guards, also helped you pick it up, but a few days ago, I escorted the fleet to Suzaku Mountain to transport grain, and you can meet when you get to the cottage." By the way, there is also a little eunuch named Mu San. ”

Fang Xie smiled: "The most fortunate thing in life is that many old people gather here!" Get drunk! ”

……

……

"Alas!"

Duan Zheng sighed heavily, put down the wine glass and said abruptly: "When I led the fleet to the north, I was still in high spirits, and I felt that the rebellion in the northwest was not enough, Your Majesty drove the expedition in person, the morale of the army was like a rainbow, and there were even more famous generals of the country, and it was naturally effortless to cleanse a corner with the power of thunder." Who would have thought that in the end, it would be such a result. When the emperor handed over the 200,000 soldiers in his hand to Gao Kaitai, how could he have expected that it was this person who ruined the return of the army to the west? ”

After a few glasses of wine, this person, who was once known as the best young generation general of the Great Sui Water Division, poured out all the unhappiness in his heart.

"The former dynasty Zheng Guo, after 50 years of frequent wars, today the west is against tomorrow the east is in chaos, even so, Zheng Guo still breathed for more than 50 years, until Emperor Taizu led the army to end the troubled times, at that time Zheng Guo officials were greedy for ink and the world was declining, the national strength was poor, so it was difficult, and it took two emperors to destroy the country. The Great Sui soldiers are strong and strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been the strongest in history for thousands of years, how can a rebellion shake the foundation? ”

These words have actually revealed Duan Zheng's true intentions, and this person, who is known as the most promising person to become the Metropolitan Governor of the Water Division in the future, can't let go of it. After he is a famous family, he has always had great confidence in the imperial court. Now that the Central Plains is full of war, he still can't understand why it suddenly became like this.

To tell the truth, in the Great Sui Kingdom, ninety percent of the people have such confusion.

A single sentence flourishes and declines, and it is obviously a little pale.

Wu Yi looked at the calm river and said indifferently: "The prosperity of the Great Sui is indeed ancient and modern, but the weight of internal worries is also the most important in all dynasties. Because he knew that the Zheng State of the previous dynasty reused the literati and light the military generals, so that the later rebellions were frequent and he was unable to return to the sky, so since the founding of Emperor Taizu, the Great Sui has been reusing the military generals, and the power of the generals of the Sixteen Guards is even stronger than the governors of Zhudao. ”

"When Luo Yao raises troops, which of those generals with heavy troops doesn't think about themselves? Only by combining civil and military forces can the country be determined, whether it is emphasizing literature over military force or emphasizing military force over literature, it is the bane. ”

This is pertinent, but it does not seem to be enough to explain the collapse of the Great Sui.

Sun Kaidao sighed slightly: "Your Majesty today, I am too anxious and too confident......"

Everyone agrees with this.

"Don't talk about that!"

Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to gather together today, come on, just a toast to this fate!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.

Wu Yi finished drinking and filled another glass for Duan Zheng: "Thank you General Duan for helping him in the past, but I don't know if General Duan has any plans for the future?" ”

He gave Fang Xie a color, and Fang Xie bowed slightly.

"What's going on here!"

Duan Zheng was a little drunk, and he fell on the table and sighed: "The day before yesterday, several of my generals asked me where to go, I have the heart to kill thieves for the country, but now I can't tell who is a thief." What can I do with these 200 boats in my hand? The lives and future of more than 10,000 brothers are on my shoulders, and sometimes I think about it, I really want to simply disband the people and horses, and send them some silver to go home to farm and fish! ”

Sun Kaidao glanced at Fang Xie and said, "General Duan, the more than 10,000 sailors under your command must not want to see you so decadent." They are also counting on you to take them on a clear path and a future. ”

"Minglu?"

Duan Zheng sat up and smiled bitterly: "If you regard me as a friend, please point me out where the road is?" ”

"Right here!"

Sun Kaidao sat up straight and looked at Fang Xie and said: "My general waved 100,000 soldiers to the south, if General Duan is willing, take the naval warship and the general to work together, it may not be impossible to give General Duan's subordinate brothers a glorious future." Is General Duan willing to sink and give up like this? Wouldn't what you've learned in 20 years be a waste? A good man should have ambitions, and in my opinion, General Duan should also cheer up. ”

Duan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed: "But ...... But I'm an official of the Great Sui after all! ”

Wu Yiyi said leisurely: "Who is not?" ”

Duan Zheng was dumbfounded, and suddenly lay on the table and cried loudly: "I have the heart to assist the country, and I have no power to return to the sky!" ”

"If you can't go back."

Fang Xie patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Just go forward." ”

Gangnam

Xianluo City Tonggu Academy

This academy is much older than the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, and has a history of at least three hundred years. The academy was built by the erudite Confucianism during the Great Zheng Dynasty, and has always been a holy place in the hearts of Jiangnan literati. If a literati can claim to be from a college, his identity will immediately appear high.

The academy occupies a small area, it is close to the river in the south of Xianluo City, and there is a row of weeping willows planted along the river outside the academy, which is the same age as the academy, and it is already the thickness of a double hug.

The front of the college is where the students study, the middle is the residence of the college teachers, and the last is the college library and the residence of the dean.

Students are not allowed to enter the backyard without permission, and even if they go to the library to borrow books, they are not allowed to wander around. This is the rule set by the great Confucian who founded the academy, and it is still strict for three hundred years.

So no one knew that every three months a group of distinguished guests would visit the dean's residence study. And when these people come, the study will draw up heavy curtains, and no one can see inside.

There were at least twenty people sitting around the room, and it seemed that none of them had any merit on them, all of them were cloth, but all of them had great backgrounds. They are not noble people, they are nothing more than the bookkeepers and staff, but when they get together, they can make the world uneasy.

"This time it's mainly a discussion, how to get rid of Luo Yao...... This man is now a top priority, and since you have come, let the proprietors tell me what they mean. ”

Sitting at the top of the room was Dong Qingfu, the current dean of the college.
